Buffalo Tofu

Buffalo Tofu you say?  Don't knock it till you try it.  I used to love love a buffalo chicken sandwich and have been looking for a good alternative.  So here is what I came up with!
Ingredients:
-Extra Firm Tofu sliced long ways (slice 4 strips about 1/4 inch wide)
-1TBS olive oil
-3/4 cup bread crumbs
-Buffalo Sauce (of your choice) I love Franks)

Directions:

-Heat pan with olive oil
-cover each slice of tofu with the bread crumbs ( the water of the tofu should make the bread crumbs stick)
-Place tofu in pan and cook about 3-5 min on each side medium heat or until crisp and brown
-Remove the tofu from the pan and place on plate, drizzle as much or as little buffalo sauce that your mouth can handle.

Footnote:
I eat mine with out a bun
Alternatives:
-Use a low carb wrap to make a sandwich with some veggie cheese
-Use a nice toasted bun with veggie cheese
-Also if you have a hunkering for some ranch to go with your Buffalo Tofu, there are some great alternatives, I believe "Annie's" sells a vegan ranch dressing that is very tasty!
-If your not crazy about tofu any vegan burger would do as long as you have buffalo sauce, the possibilities are endless!!!
Enjoy:)

Banana Ice Cream

Want a delicious and nutritious snack that not only you will love but so will the kids?  They will never know its good for them either and it is super simple.
Ingredients:
4- Bananas Peeled (just ripe or almost to ripe will work)
Cinnamon Sugar (optional)

Directions:
-Take 4 peeled bananas and cut each in half and freeze them for at least 2 hrs or longer.
-Once bananas are frozen remove from freezer and place in food processor, chop or grind until a smooth consistency.( I use a small food processor so I only do 2 halves at a time)
- Each frozen blended banana per person, so 4 bananas would yield for 4 people
-Lastly sprinkle the banana Ice Cream with cinnamon sugar ( my daughter thought of that one )

Enjoy!

There are so many variations to this recipe, I could go on and on, you can freeze strawberries as well and do a strawberry banana ice cream.  You could also add peanut butter to the banana mixture and have banana peanut butter ice cream.
